This is called after\nifs->read_bytes_pending has been decremented by the bytes attempted to\nbe read.\n\nFor a folio split across multiple read completions, the folio is only\nguaranteed to stay locked while read_bytes_pending > 0. Once\niomap_finish_folio_read() decrements read_bytes_pending, another\nin-flight read can complete and end the read on the folio, which unlocks\nit. This allows truncate logic to run and detach the folio (set\nfolio->mapping to NULL). The error reporting path then can dereference a\nNULL folio->mapping.
